Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Argentine attacker Nico Gonzalez.
The 27-year-old is on loan at Juventus, and he has eight goal contributions this season. The player does not have a future at Fiorentina, and he is likely to be sold permanently in the summer.
Tottenham and Brighton are keeping tabs on him, according to a report from Tuttosport. The report further claims that Tottenham have made contact regarding a potential move.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done in the coming weeks. They need more depth in the attack, and the 27-year-old is capable of operating in multiple attacking roles. He will add goals and creativity to the side.
Tottenham have been tracking the player for years.
Nico Gonzalez is highly rated
Juventus manager Igor Tudor recently heaped praise on the player as well.
He said (h/t JuveFC): “Nico has everything: great availability, commitment, and a strong desire to give everything he has.
“He is a lad who has a great heart and grit. He’s Argentine, so he’s someone who never holds back, always convincing.
“I also found an excellent person. As a player, I had known him for a long time. I had been following him with admiration for a long time.”
Nico Gonzalez could fancy Spurs move
The opportunity to join a Premier League club will be quite exciting for him. It would be a step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself in English football. There is no doubt that he has physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League.
Tottenham will need to improve their attacking unit if they want to fight for major trophies next year. Apart from signing a dynamic attacker like Gonzalez, they should look to invest in another reliable centre forward as well.
It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, and they could miss out on Champions League qualification unless they win the UEFA Europa League. It will be interesting to see if they can win the European competition and attract top-quality players in the summer.
